Pictured are Noah Jefferson and Gabe Kaplan.  Jefferson's twin stacks appeared to be just 5ks, which makes him a very short stack, especially considering he just lost this big pot against Barry Greenstein...

Noah Jefferson (fastest Chip Twiddler I've ever seen) called Barry Greenstein's raise in the blind, and check-raised him on the flop.  They got to the turn - Jefferson betting, Barry calling and river, and then he showed what looked like only to find Barry Greenstein with the to take a great deal of what he had left.

After calling Barry's raise the very next hand (along with Thor Hansen) only to pass on the flop, he was then dangerously short, and the Grapevine tells us that Noah Jefferson was, just now, the Bubble Boy, meaning that there are 16 players left, who are in the money.

As they were announcing the redraw and that everyone is now in the money, a huge hand was unfolding on Table Reslock, Dave Singer and Stephen Wolff the men involved.

The game was Omaha Hi-Lo, but with a board of , this hand was only going to produce a high.

Sitting pretty with Pocket Sixes, last year's finalist, Dave Singer, confidently pushed in his chips, but was dismayed to find that Wolff had him locked up in a nasty cooler with Pocket Kings for bigger quads.

Harsh one for the Full Tilt man, but a corker of a double up for Wolff, and at a crucial time too!

John Hanson - looks like he's down some since the start of the day which had him on over a million - looks like around 700k currently (but I really can't be sure).

Hi there, yes - next year will be yours, all yours.  I don't know where Rolf is currently, but I am sure we'll run into him somewhere in the sprawling Amazon room at some point, and I will tell him he has all of Holland behind him (or at least you).

This is what the ESPN feature table looks like - very atmospheric, very hard to see what's going on without climbing across the laps of the public in the stands.  Luckily, those screens up top show the action, and there is intermittent announcement as well.

Back on the TV table, Mike Matusow is deadly serious, a far cry from his comedic performances and jovial demanour earlier on in the comp.

Meanwhile, a hand is being played out in front of the cameras, Stephen Wollf (Q-8) and Amnon Filipi (4-2) splitting a pot on an board, Amnon the agressor except on the River where he called a final 50k (I think) bet.

Bumped into an in-good-spirits Mickey 'The Worm' Wernick on my last venture out into the HORSE battlefield.

Me: Hello young Michael, I heard you got unlucky today.
Mickey: Yeah, was playing the senior event.
Me: Just crept into the age bracket?
Mickey: Yep, sneaked in by 13 years.
Me: What's the standard like. Do you prefer playing the oldies?
Mickey: No, not really, there are some good players in there, and they've all been playing for 20 years plus.
Me: True.
Mickey: Having said that though, one of the worst players there had written a book apparently.
Me: Was it Doyle?
Mickey: Ha, no, he ain't half bad, coming on well that kid.
Me: Bet it's been a while since he's been called kid.

OUT in 16th place is Mike Matusow, winning $88,800

O

Matusow gets it all in on the flop in Omaha 8/b - the flop being - against Stephen Wolff.
Matusow shows:  A-2-Q-9
Wolff shows:  A-3-Q-6 for a flopped Total Monster of nut low and top-end straight.

The turn:    Two pair for Mike...potential for the house, notes the TD...
River: 

No help and we lose our first money finisher.

As I left the pressroom, I was shocked to see Greg Raymer trundling down the corridor, but fear not sandal, white sock, beige shorts, orange shirt wearing fans, the former Main Event champion is still in, we're just starting a short 20 minute break.
